I had to say, the acting from Clay is not great as all. I think, David Keith Miller must had read 1997's novel, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', a week earlier, when looking for names for his private investigator character. Honestly, why type of investigator, go to the suspect, and expose himself like that!? Also, is it me, or was it, kinda funny that his name is Jay Rollins. Another character that wasn't very convincing is Clay Greenbush as the private investigator, Jay Rollins seem really bad at his job. His computer background is just not convincing.

Even if he does find information, it doesn't explain, how he got, into random people's houses. It's very unlikeable, he would find much on Kim on the internet, even if he's hacking a semi famous celebrity author, which the movie also does not show. Also, seeing how it's the late 1990s, and social media in its primitive stages. He rarely shown, using the computer, even after the big reveal. Another thing, it really hard to believe that he is a computer guy. Now that would make more sense than a random computer guy who isn't related, looking for revenge for getting hurt, long time ago. If anything, it would had work better if he was Alexa (Anneliza Scott)'s ex-lover who she cheated on.

The twist toward the end about him, was also disappointing. While, I do like his Casanova dominant hedonism mind-games and how they show how her mind is warped, it's did get a bit tiresome as the film went on. Even his second approach was somewhat clichés & over the top cheesy. After all, you want to make it believability that she finds him, safe at first, before he force her to do, more extreme stuff. It was downright awkward and not so charming. Yet, I thought his approach to the main character could need some work. There is no mystery on why women would be attractive to him. The film never says, still I have to say, Doug Jeffery does great to carries the film as the handsome enigmatic unfamiliar figure. Plus, he kinda own or rent a warehouse with a theater. If anything, the mysterious stranger seem more like the writer, since he is outright quoting her writing and that of William Shakespeare. They rarely show any of her work, or her writing skills.

Yet, I really don't see her character, as much of a writer, as the movie thinks she is. Despite that, Kira Reed really does deliver in all of the sex scenes that the film, ask for her to do, even those scenes doesn't make sense. It looks like she had to be save by a man, and technically, she did. Plus, it didn't help toward the end, when she becomes more and more like the damsel in distress who can't stop herself from going with her downward path. It made her, look really lustful and downright stupid. After all, it became a bit tiresome to see her submissive side, fall for each, and every trick that the cagey man, bring to her. However, I thought, maybe David Keith Miller could had shape her up, a bit, by allowing her, some sexual freedom and control on the stranger. She really did seem like a naive woman, blinded by passion and Kira Reed plays her well. Without spoiling the movie, too much, I have to say, the novelist heroine was indeed somewhat likable, even if some of her later decisions in the film, were a bit annoying and craze. However, the more, she sees of him, the more, she falls for his dangerous web of seduction that might spell the end of her. A chance encounter with a handsome mysterious unnamed stranger (Doug Jeffery) opens her to a world of risky sexual experimentation, enough material for her to write many books of. Written by David Keith Miller, & originally aired on Cinemax in the late 1990s, this B-scale erotic soft-core genre thriller tells the story of a lonely romantic author, Kim Ward (Kira Reed) suffering from a bout of writer's block. I have to say, the film directed by Julie Jordan was quite arousing, sexy and compelling enough to watch, even with some flaws.
